There are times you need to protect your online location and identity and secure your information. This is where a VPN (virtual private network) comes in. 

Our experts test and review the most popular VPN services to help find the products that:

  • have the fastest download times
  • are easiest to set up
  • are easiest to use
  • have the best customer support.

Shopping links on the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳website

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer's website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn't influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We're currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. .

Our interactive comparison tool shows you which VPNs offer disconnection protection, which ones failed our DNS leakage test and which ones offer a free trial. Our Recommended picks will help you quickly see which VPNs come out on top. 

Our VPN testing was done using Windows OS, but we've noted where that branded app is available for other platforms (Mac, Linux, iOS, Android).
